Figure l is a top View of my improved bedbottom, part being broken away to show the construction and Fig. 2 is a side view ofthe same, part of the cover being removed to show the construction.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre` The ends of the slats O are designed to rest upon the side cleats of the bedstead, and are connected and heldin proper relative position by longitudinal slats D, attached to them near their ends. E is aborder-frame, which restsA upon the outer part of the top coils of the outer springs B. To the slats C and D, at suitable distances apart, are secured straps G, the outer ends of which are bent upward at right angles, and .have knobs g attached to them to enter eyelet-holes in the edges of the cover H, to` keep said cover in place. The cover H is designed to prevent the mattress from being Worn by the springs, `and when worn or soiled it may be detached and mended, or washed or replaced with a new cover, as may be desired.
